Surprisingly pleasant place
Reviewed March 15, 2024
By inviting a member we paid €54/2 people.
The place was easy to walk with a carrying bag. I particularly found that the houses are not protected by nets and are not fenced. At a hole you can get balls, which the garden owner always hangs on a pole so that golfers don't continue playing from the lawn in his front yard. Our teammate also showed me photos of her riding in the cart with Gary Player. He/whose family has a house on the square. The par 4 is also exceptional, with a road running straight through it at 150 m. As I teeed off, a Posche Cayennne was driving across to his house. I waved him through.
The photo here was the signature hole for me. With 7 iron on 145 m a par 3 approx. 100 m carry over the hedges to the sea. Directly behind the tee, people sat freely on their terrace without a fence and watched you. Only the bunkers were a bit too hard. Otherwise a highly recommended place.

Immaculately
Reviewed March 16, 2020
Very well-maintained course with impeccable fairways and beautifully designed fairways.
Due to the bad weather, however, quite wet with lots of puddles - drainage?
Greens in very good condition, a bit slow due to the wet but otherwise perfect.
Would like to play the course again on nice days!

Not a must
Reviewed October 12, 2019
I played the course in 2018. Condition was manageable. I do not have a hole left in the memory. Do not go again.

If you play
Reviewed February 23, 2018
Could play the place on 23.2.18. The green fee for 320 Rand, for what the course offers very cheap. A driving range is also available. Slightly hilly, fast greens, well maintained. Not a big highlight, it's great to play. Partly with large trees, partly provided with a bush landscape. The passing N 2 disturbs only a little. Conclusion - play.

Why not Goose Valley!?
Reviewed January 25, 2018
Nice moderate, if rather unspectacular course with well-maintained varied tracks, which is especially true for most PAR 3 and especially the second 9. Challenges may be for some the sometimes deep pot bunker. Beautiful club terrace at the end of the 18. With 600 Rand comparatively cheap green fee for a full round. Pro shop well sorted, staff friendly and helpful as well as the mostly international audience. Unfortunately E-Cart is not automatically equipped with water and ice as usual. Overall, Goose Valley is definitely worth a cheap round, although it can not compete with Pezula and Simola (which, however, also beat twice the green fee prices). The course is well suited to warm up for the aforementioned 5-star courses.

Well maintained, inexpensive resort golf
Reviewed December 28, 2017
The slightly hilly course is on the coast and was in dec. 2017 very good in the shot.
The course requires precise play, especially the deep bunker (very good sand) are extremely numerous and unpleasant placed. also the greens want to be read exactly, although it does not look like that at first sight.
Along the fairways, trees, bushes and tall grass alternate.
The course may and may be run and is reasonably priced. pay attention to senior rates!

Unspectacular
Reviewed February 17, 2016
The place is quite nice, but nothing more. The back nine are scenically beautiful than the first.
You can walk well the place though, but a couple of ways between the orbits are slightly longer, so that players have to wait with cart from time to time on the "runner".
Very tasty sandwiches in Halfway House, with freshly baked white bread! :-)
There are no caddies! Very unusual for SA at a place that you can run. Pity!

Good to gambling place in a beautiful location
Reviewed November 24, 2015
This course offers wide and narrow fairways, different paths that you can perform in retrospect still individually before our eyes, because they really differ from each other. Beautiful views over the bay of Plett, both narrow and wide fairways, beautiful trees. Partly by deep bunkers (extremely high margins!) Well-protected greens. The course is to deal with problems with trolley (Leihgrolley 2-Rad). The signs at the clubhouse with regard to Range, tea 1, tea leaves 10 bit to be desired, so the pro shop wondering exactly beforehand. The Halfwayrestaurant located on the back of the clubhouse, so do not close Green 9 or discount 10. All in all a very nice place for all handicap classes depending on the tee, a challenge. Thoroughly recommended.

Nice, with sporadic Highlights
Reviewed February 9, 2015
Played on 07/12/2014, HCP 14
A beautiful parkland course that offers now and distant views of the lagoon. Unfortunately, a lot of houses - not ugly, but simply omnipresent. Moderately hilly, mostly short distances to the nearest tea - a cart is not necessarily required.
In the front part rather spacious flat with a few pretty flower beds and nice trees. Rear changes the character of the place - suddenly very narrow fairways lined by pine trees. Apart from the rolls like lush bushes in the balls hardly recover, are much to play for.
Some water hazards and numerous bunkers - some very deep "Scottish" pots. Striking small greens - not overly fast, not very complicated waved.
Condition good, but not outstanding.
A few "highlights" orbits, eg 11 hole, par 3,150m to a violent verbunkertes Green - the elevated tee offers a lovely view over the lagoon. The final hole, a short par 4, is typical of the square, with a small "nasty" challenge - it ends in a tiny green, surrounded by evil pot bunkers, directly in front of the clubhouse terrace.
Conclusion: Overall, a quite appealing place that you like to play again. He's just the problem to be in competition with many really great places in this region, with its numerous "highlight" he orbits due to so few "filling holes" can not quite keep up. Thus, only 3 stars (the "Bear Golf Ranking": 5 out of 10 points).

Playable place
Reviewed March 30, 2014
The layout of the place is quite ok. The reductions were more modest condition. The fairways mostly good with a few drawbacks (bald spots) and the greens quite well. Pro shop and club house ditto. The course is playable to tackle on foot and makes a lot of joy. But compared to the other places in the surrounding area he can not compete at the top level - Gary Player or not.

Player Dream
Reviewed February 12, 2013
Not really grasped that I write the first review because it is an old Gary Player jewel. Only right after the clubhouse was renovated. Play this place is worth it. Very well maintained.
